78 2-Door Build Thread

[sports racer]

Not much of an update as more an indication to where I'm going with the Golf.

I've always liked 16's on MK1's so I tried these.




Looks good so on to the next step.










I found a colour that I like too, Audi Shiraz Red but I'll probably change my mind a dozen times before this build is over.



With the flares I can fit these 8x16's all round. The emblem needs to come off or replaced with a suitable VW one.



Should be interesting.

Cheers

I say leave the merc caps on! Those wheels looks so badass!

A mate sent me this picture of what he found in someone's shed.



Hate to think what it's worth.

Motorsport? What displacement?

From memory its a 1.8 8V with forged internals and he got it for $100, yes, you read right, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS

I found a great donor car to get all the bits I need to put the MK1 back on the road. Hopefully the 2 ltre motor is ok and I can use it together with all the fuel injection system but the brakes, dash and all the wiring will definitely be swapped over.





At least I know the history of the "doner" car.

Wow!!!!! How are you feeling Paul? Looks like a bloody hard hit.

[sports racer]

It was a big hit, I was doing over 120 when I hit and the truck was doing less than 80. At least I can confirm the crumple zone and seatbelt work in 24 year old Golfs.

Luckily all I've got is a fractured breastbone but it makes it painful to breath and it takes me 20 min to get dressed. And I'm walking like an old man, even my 80 year old mum could beat me in a foot race.
